Epson projectors are driving force behind golf simulators
Epson’s projector image quality, portfolio of lenses and wide range of throw ratios allow US-based Golf Pro Delivered to create immersive simulators with ultra-bright, larger-than-life images.
Golf Pro Delivered has become one of the US's top golf simulator installers – thanks to its relationship with Epson.
The company constructs immersive displays that envelop users in a realistic golf experience. In need of commercial-grade projectors that seamlessly integrate with golf simulator technology and deliver vivid colours and high brightness, Golf Pro Delivered works closely with the Epson team to identity the three-chip 3LCD projector solution based on the parameters of each installation.
Golf Pro Delivered's founder and chief executive, Jeff Wibben, says: “To succeed in this business, you need to be a master of many things – golf, technology, construction and interior design. An extensive amount of detail goes into each golf simulator build and one of the most important aspects is projection technology, as it makes the experience more captivating for golfers.
"Thankfully, we connected with the Epson team early on, which took the time to teach us about projection, even though we were just a small company.
“Since we started working with Epson, its projectors have been incredibly reliable, cost effective and easy to install, and they consistently deliver outstanding image quality in comparison with other projector brands we’ve seen.
“In the golf simulator industry, customers want that ‘wow-factor’ image on their 16-foot-wide screens, which isn’t easy to do.
"Epson delivers the perfect combination of everything we’re looking for in a projector to help achieve this. From flexible throw ranges to high-lumen laser and 3-chip 3LCD technology, with Epson projectors we are able to avoid flicker on our high-speed cameras and take advantage of the enhanced resolution to ensure crisp and clear visuals for customers.”
Golf simulators provide players with the chance to play on a range of courses from around the world. They require software, a launch monitor and an extra-large screen and projector to offer users total immersion.
Epson's projector image quality and extensive range of lenses allow Golf Pro Delivered's simulators to create ultra-bright, larger-than-life images.
The manufacturer's wide range of throw ratios, including short-throw projectors, helps prevent shadowing and integrates seamlessly into custom golf simulator designs. Epson’s line-up of compact projectors allows for flexible projector placement, making them suited for complicated installations where different space restraints and ceiling heights need to be taken into consideration.
“With the continued support and technology from key partners like Epson, our business has grown 25 times over the past five years alone, and we look forward to continued success together for years to come,” says Wibben.
